If you've never made acorn squash, you're missing out on what our Test Kitchen thinks is one of the best autumn veggies. Try this recipe as your introduction to (or reminder of) a really yummy veggie.
What You'll Need
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 medium acorn squash, cut in half and seeded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (16-ounce) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Brush butter evenly over each squash half then sprinkle with the salt. Place on baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
- Spoon cranberry sauce equally into centers of the squash halves and bake for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until squash is tender.
Tip
For a crunchy topping, sprinkle 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce before baking.

I love acorn squash. I usually make it in the microwave, cut side down in a 8x8 baking dish with a small amount of salted water in the bottom of it (sorry I'm not sure of the time I start with 10 minutes and keep checking it) I followed the recipe above and loved it, the cranberry with the squash is a perfect combination and the nuts put it over the top! Everyone loved it and suggested I make double the next time!

This is an easy recipe and very tasty - the cranberries are a good addition to the squash. It makes a pretty presentation at the table, too. I don't understand the other comments - who does it benefit to say you're goint to try the recipe or that you're tired of other vegetables. Try it and then comment - this isn't facebook.

Herb Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce 
Instead of cooking ham or prime rib for Easter, why not try something new this year? Our Herb-Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce may look and sound fancy, but it's really easy to do. It's basically a rack of lamb that's coated with herbs and spices before it's roasted to perfection. Just before serving, it's finished off with a mint-wine reduction. The end result is an Easter-worthy main dish that'll impress everyone at the table.
